    Default snap.do and PriceGong

    Hello all,

    The other night, I went to install Windows Movie Maker. Now, I couldn't remember which page I got it from on my old computer, but I know that none of the sites were 'microsoft-y' - and, as sod's law dictates, I clicked the wrong one. Then, when I was recording, I opened up Google Chrome and was immediately redirected to snap.do. I followed the following removal instructions:

    1. Go to Add/Remove programs, then uninstall snap.do

    2. Go into ALL browsers and remove snap.do from search provider list, and restore homepage back to what it was

    Then, I noticed I had something called PriceGong installed, which I removed in a similar way.

    My question is: I KNOW snap.do is bad because it's search results can redirect you to another potentially compromising website. I don't remember clicking on the links snap.do threw back at me when I accidentally searched through it, but could my PC still be infected? Spybot, Malwarebytes and AVG are all coming up clean but I've had a virus on my old machine which went unnoticed by all three. (I know I'm probably being paranoid, but I spent alot of money on my new PC and I don't want it melting or bogging down because some little fragment of malware is still remaining.)


    Thanks

    Sorry for the delay, we fell behind during the holidays.

    Do you still need help or have you resolved this issue ?
